Spanish and Arabic words for clothing
tend to be cognates from vulgar Latin
and many have sketchy origins:
e.g.
zapato/s.abat;
fustán/fustan
camisa/qamis (< Celtic supposedly)
calzón/kalsun (sp? --I don't know if qaf and s.ad or not)
etc.

=============

I can't find them in Kazimirski
so I don't think they are "Arabic"
and therefore anything like "cognate".

Maybe some varieties of Arabic have late LW from Spanish.
